The Kosher Scene is far more than just food and wine, our Internet Radio guest tomorrow evening will be Irving Schild, Professor Emeritus and former Photography Department Chairman at New York City's prestigious Fashion Institute of Technology and Chief Photographer for MAD Magazine. During his more than four decades in his chosen field he has traveled to many near and remote, familiar and exotic parts of the world, for his clients as well as his own creative pursuits. We will discuss his current book project on the rebirth of many Jewish communities in Europe, reborn in spite of Hitler's (Yimach shmo!) attempts to permanently destroy them. He will show us, as the Partisans Song (Zog nisht keyn mol – Never Say) went, that in spite of the odds, in spite of the number of murderous attempts on the Jewish Nation, the Jewish Phoenix always rises from the ashes, from the blood, from the pain, from the tears!
Last week's show featured the Puah Institute, we spoke with their Director General, Rabbi Gideon Weitzman, in Jerusalem and Mrs. Leah Davidson, Director of the American branch. We talked about their work on behalf of infertile couples, their free counseling services, their supervision services and more. If you missed it, you can hear the archive here: What is the Puah Institute?
Please listen to our conversation with Irving Schild, photographer extraordinaire. Tune us in at 8:00 pm, tomorrow evening – Wednesday, the 18th of May. You can find us right here: Talking with Irving Schild . Irving is a fascinating personality, this show promises to be interesting, informative while filling every Jewish heart with pride at our quiet revenge against those who would have annihilated us.

What Are Variable Stars?
Variable stars are stars that change brightness. The brightness changes of these stars can range from a thousandth of a magnitude to as much as twenty magnitudes over periods of a fraction of a second to years, depending on the type of variable star. Over 150,000 variable stars are known and catalogued, and many thousands more are suspected to be variable.
There are a number of reasons why variable stars change their brightness. Pulsating variables, for example, swell and shrink due to internal forces. An eclipsing binary will dim when it is eclipsed by a faint companion, and then brighten when the occulting star moves out of the way. Some variable stars are actually extremely close pairs of stars, exchanging mass as one star strips the atmosphere from the other.
The different causes of light variation in variable stars provide the impetus for classifying the stars into different categories. Variable stars are classified as either intrinsic, wherein variability is caused by physical changes such as pulsation or eruption in the star or stellar system, or extrinsic, wherein variability is caused by the eclipse of one star by another, the transit of an extrasolar planet, or by the effects of stellar rotation.
Why Observe Variable Stars?
The science of variable star astronomy teaches us about one important part of the universe -- the stars. Stars are the primary engines of cosmic evolution, particularly in the creation of elements heavier than hydrogen and helium which make up us and the world that we live in. Further, stars and their systems of planets are the only likely places we will find life in the universe; by studying stars (including our own Sun), we are also learning about possible abodes for life. Research on variable stars is important because it provides information about stellar properties, such as mass, radius, luminosity, temperature, internal and external structure, composition, and evolution. Some of this information would be difficult or impossible to obtain any other way. In many cases, it is the nature of the variability that provides the clues to the answers. This information can then be used to understand other stars.
Variable stars need to be systematically observed over decades in order to determine their long-time behavior. Professional astronomers have neither the available time nor the unlimited telescope access needed to gather data on the brightness changes of thousands of variable stars. Thus, it is amateur astronomers utilizing visual, photographic, photoelectric, and CCD techniques who are making a real and highly useful contribution to science by observing variable stars and submitting their observations to the AAVSO International Database. These important data are needed to analyze variable star behavior, to schedule satellite observations of certain stars, to correlate data from satellite and ground-based observations, and to make computerized theoretical models of variable stars possible.
Variable stars play a crucial role in our understanding of the universe. Cepheid variables have played a major part in determining distances to far-away galaxies and determining the age of the Universe. Mira variables give us a glimpse into the future evolution of our own star, the Sun. Accretion disks in cataclysmic variables help us to understand larger scale disk behavior, like the activity inside active galaxies with supermassive black holes. Supernovae have led us to the surprising realization that the expansion of the Universe is accelerating. Even the search for extra-terrestrial life is illuminated by variable stars. Transiting extrasolar planets provide clues into the processes of planetary formation, and the very stuff life as we know it is made of comes from the hearts of stars that explode in the final stages of their evolution.

I'm absolutely giddy for today's post! Because today, on the day of love, I'm going to tell you the story of how I fell head over heels with Pratchett books. Believe it or not, I wasn't always the giant orange monkey you see now. In fact, once upon a time when I was a wee uni student, two of my closest friends (hi if you're reading!) were astounded to find that I was a barely familiar with the Discworld. Sure, I'd heard of Pratchett (who hasn't?)- I even had vague but pleasant memories of The Wee Free Men from when I was younger- yet I'd never launched fully immersed myself in the wackiness of Pratchett's universe. That, of course, was a mistake 😉
"The trouble with having an open mind, of course, is that people will insist on coming along and trying to put things in it"
Because I knew, the second I started reading Mort that I was reading something special. And, incidentally, so did the rest of my train carriage, where I sat for four hours, smothering laughter through my hand. I instantly fell in love with the humour. I mean, even years on, I still find myself randomly cracking up over the Great A'Tuin- a giant turtle hurtling through space with four elephants resting on its back which support the Discworld… Seriously, I just finished that sentence and I'm laughing again! Really the jokes and wit *never* gets old.
"Build a man a fire, and he'll be warm for a day. Set a man on fire, and he'll be warm for the rest of his life."
"Apes had it worked out. No ape would philosophize, "The mountain is, and is not." They would think, "The banana is. I will eat the banana. There is no banana. I want another banana."
"In ancient times cats were worshipped as gods. They have not forgotten this"
Soon I'd leapt into the rest of the series- in fact the Death series ran away with me- I couldn't stop with that one. I absolutely loved the quirks and eccentricities of the entire world- not least of the characters! I still chuckle over the fact that Death enjoys a good curry- that is so quintessentially English and I love it!! (chicken tikka masala is the national dish after all). Plus, oh my goodness, the stories are so unconventional! If you're looking for a different Christmas story, you won't get anything better than the Hogfather.
"Human beings make life so interesting. Do you know, that in a universe so full of wonders, they have managed to invent boredom"
And actually that leads me onto the pure genius of the ideas. Not only is Hogfather a lovingly satirical take on the way we all act around Christmas, but it also gets right into the heart of the love of stories. Actually, this is a running theme with Pratchett- and is especially noticeable in the witch's plots, such as the play with fairy tales in Witches Abroad and the *double double toil and trouble* Shakespearean mischief of Lords and Ladies. It's this complexity and depth which makes the series *so awesome*.
As you know, I absolutely *love* satire, and this is such witty and intelligent fare. And on such varied topics as well! Sometimes it's simply about some good fantasy tropes like dragons in Guards, Guards. Sometimes it's on a much larger scale, like questions around war, in Jingo. And sometimes books like Going Postal are just about that weird British obsession with the post office dammit- incidentally this is one of my favourites and the only one I've reviewed.
"What kind of man would put a known criminal in charge of a major branch of government? Apart from, say, the average voter."
And yet there's more to it than all that. Over the years, I've fallen in love time and again with so many bonkers, wacky and fun characters from the series! If they were simply flat archetypes for satirical fodder, they wouldn't be half as endearing as they are. But no! They are so much deeper than that. Death, the anthropomorphic personification of death, doesn't just exist as a vehicle for the plot- NO!– he actually comes to learn about and sympathise with humanity. Vimes, the slightly world weary copper, who manages to upstage everyone with his unbending sense of right and wrong. Granny "I can't be having with that kind of thing" Weatherwax, who takes common sense to a whole new level. Vetinari is the kind of despotic politician I can admire (thank you Sir P for giving me the opportunity to utter such odd sentences). Then there's other favourites like the Death of Rats, Susan and Moist. And lastly, but certainly not least…
The Librarian- who inspired me to create this blog! For those of you who don't know, the Librarian is one of my favourite Discworld characters. My monkey owes its existence to the great big monkey in the sky… or something (*ahem* that sounded more poetic in my head…) Say hello to my little friend!
"If you try to to take my bananas from me, I will reclaim them from your cold dead hands."
And so we're coming to the end of my journey so far… And the fact that I can say "so far" is something else that I'm happy about. Because, as I mentioned a couple of weeks back, I'm not done yet- and that only makes me more excited!! I have heard so many wonderful things about books I haven't got to- not least the Shepherd's Crown– and I've got to say I can't wait!
So have you read Pratchett? Are you inspired to pick any up now? Let me know in the comments!

UF antivenin trial saves snake-bitten critters
When Lynetta Griner of Chiefland came home from work one day last month, she opened the garage door to what looked like a murder scene.
"There was blood everywhere," she said. "I just thought maybe the two dogs had fought each other."
Both dogs — Pete and his son Boots — were bloody and swollen on their left sides.
Griner rushed the dogs to the local veterinarian, who upon looking inside the dogs' bruised mouths determined they had been bitten by a snake.
Snakebites are not uncommon in pets — especially dogs. Summertime is known as "snake season" because the intense rains force snakes out of their hiding places.
A timely trial at the University of Florida small animal hospital is testing an investigational antivenin in dogs who were bitten by snakes.
Pete and Boots were among the first beneficiaries of the trial that, so far, has treated 12 dogs.
"We are just so grateful that our vet knew about the trial because otherwise they might not have survived," Griner said. "They were prepared. They met us at the door, immediately took the dogs from us and went to work."
Pete, an 80-pound hanging tree cowdog, received 12 vials of antivenin, while Boots, half his size, received seven.
Dr. Carsten Bandt, the study's lead researcher and an assistant professor of emergency medicine and the service chief of emergency and critical care at the small animal hospital, said hospital personnel do a quick review of the dogs' cardiovascular condition, physical appearance and ability to form clots before giving them the first vial of antivenin. Dogs have to come in within six hours of getting bitten to qualify for the study.
The antivenin being studied, known by the trade name VenomVet, has been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, but its side effects are largely unknown and are currently being studied in trials throughout the country similar to the one at UF.
The antivenin comes in liquid form, unlike one of the currently used antivenins, which comes in powder form and takes a while to mix up, said Dr. Luiz Bolfer, a third-year resident in emergency and critical care medicine at the small animal hospital.
"VenomVet is faster and ready to be used," Bolfer said.
Dogs also have traditionally been treated with a version of Crofab, the antivenin used in humans, but that has more side effects, Bandt explained. Dogs can even die from allergic reactions associated with this antivenin, Bandt added.
Neither of the currently available antivenins are cheap for pet owners, with one vial costing $300 to $350. Total care costs often run in the thousands, which often prevents owners from going through with it, Bolfer added.
Heather Stellmach was in that position when her 3-year-old dog Josey was bitten by a snake in early May. As she and her husband rushed the sick dog to the small animal hospital one late Sunday morning, "My husband said if anything cost more than $500, we would have to euthanize her," recalled Stellmach, who works in the call center at the small animal hospital and knew one vial of antivenin costs nearly $400.
"I was like, 'We're never gonna see her again.' "
What Stellmach didn't know at the time, though, was that the trial could save her dog — for free. As soon as they got to the hospital, Bandt told her Josey qualified for the trial and the free treatments.
"She was cardiovascularly unstable, dull and unable to form a clot," Bolfer said. "Definitely a dog that would not survive without antivenin."
The hospital gave the dog five vials of antivenin before her clotting time returned to normal.
Josey has some retinal damage in her right eye, but otherwise, "she is just as playful, energetic and happy as before," said Stellmach, who last week brought Josey to the small animal hospital to hang out.
Josey's paw nails were painted orange and blue, and she enjoyed wandering around for the first day without a cone around her neck to prevent her from rubbing her eye, Stellmach explained.
Bolfer said that because of the severity of the dog's reaction, the snake was likely a diamondback. Dogs are also commonly bitten by water moccasins and, less frequently, by coral snakes, which require a special antivenin that costs $800.
Dogs bitten by coral snakes often must go on a ventilation machine, which can cost $1,000 or more, Bolfer said.
The small animal hospital typically sees about 30 dogs, and an occasional cat, with snake bites per year.
"Dogs usually get bit in the nose or the face; cats usually in the legs because they try to hit them with their paws — they are a little faster than dogs and a little smarter than dogs about it," Bandt said.
Bolfer said many of the dogs the hospital treats live on farms or ranches, or near lakes.
"Try to avoid having the dog off-leash, especially at night and in the summertime, when incidents are almost double," Bolfer cautioned dog owners, adding that dogs also should not be allowed to wander off-leash in areas thick with brush.
And if your dog looks swollen, don't wait — go to the vet, he continued, adding that many times, owners will not actually see the snake, so they have to trust their dogs' symptoms, however subtle.
"She never yelped. We never heard a rattle," Stellmach said of Josey. "She's yet to cry."

US women coast past Sweden into gold-medal hockey game
SOCHI, Russia (AP) — The work began before the U.S. women's hockey team reached the medal round, before it arrived in Sochi, before the roster was even selected.
Four years ago, the Americans left the Olympics with a silver medal. And Julie Chu was determined to be back.
"When that buzzer goes off and it erupted in the arena and we fell short of our goal of being the best in the world, that hurts," the four-time Olympian said after the United States beat Sweden 6-1 on Monday to reach the gold medal game in Sochi. "The last four years, that's been our goal."
Megan Bozek, Kendall Coyne and Brianna Decker each had a goal and two assists, and the Americans outshot Sweden 70-9 to clinch no worse than a silver medal. The U.S. has medaled in every Winter Games since women's hockey was added in 1998, and just once — with a loss to Sweden in the 2006 semifinals — failed to reach the Olympic championship game.
Canada, a three-time defending champion that has played in every Olympic final, would have a chance for a fourth gold in a row with a victory over Switzerland later Monday. Not since the inaugural tournament in Nagano have the Americans beaten Canada, losing in the championship game in 2002 and '10 and again in the preliminary round of the Sochi Games on Wednesday.
There are 11 players on the U.S. roster who played in the final in Vancouver, but Chu is the only one who was also on the team in Salt Lake City or Turin. She has two silver medals and a bronze.
"We're going for a different color this time," she said.
And coach Katey Stone would like to see her get it.
"It's about time isn't it? It's time," said Stone, who was also Chu's coach at Harvard. "Julie's been everything to the program, she's been a youngster, she's been a veteran ... she's been a mother to the younger kids. Kids like that don't come around all the time. She's a special one. I certainly hope she gets what she wants."
In goal, Jesse Vetter needed just eight saves for the victory.
The U.S. scored five times in 47 shots on starting goalie Valentina Wallner before she was replaced in the second period by Kim Martin Hasson. The backup was the winning goaltender when Sweden upset the Americans in Turin, and she stopped 22 of 23 shots.
"We took Valentina out because she had a busy day at work," said assistant coach Leif Boork, whose team will face the Switzerland-Canada loser for third place. "We wanted to make a decision for the next game, the bronze medal game."
Anna Borgqvist scored on a deflected shot past Vetter with just under seven minutes remaining to spoil the shutout.
Alex Carpenter and Kacey Bellamy scored in a span of 66 seconds in the first period, and Amanda Kessel gave the Americans a 3-0 lead before Sweden got off its first shot. The U.S. outshot Sweden 29-1 in the first period.
"That was not the start we wanted to have," Boork said. "We knew before that it is one of the world's best teams and they showed that today. We tried to play for the whole game, even if we were under hard pressure from the beginning. But it's too big of a challenge for us at the moment."

Powerball jackpot grows to $600 million
Associated Press
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Powerball officials say the jackpot has climbed to an estimated $600 million, making it the largest prize in the game's history and the world's second largest lottery prize.
Lottery officials say the prize is growing quickly Friday because so many people have been purchasing the $2 tickets. The jackpot has grown by an estimated $236 million since the last drawing on Wednesday.
The last jackpot was won on March 30, so it's been growing for about six weeks. The next drawing is Saturday night.
The largest jackpot ever was a $656 million Mega Millions prize won in March 2012. The prize was split three ways with winners in Illinois, Kansas and Maryland.
Odds of winning the Powerball jackpot are about 1 in 175 million.

Why use private network in 192.168 range?Private Network is a common practice in company and classical user but less for them. It's not necessary to have public address for each element. Futhermore, public address can change anytime when we reset router when private address is static most of the time. Plus, lack of public IPV4 Address tend to increase popularity of private IP Address.
How to login 192.168.0.0. in 5 Steps
1. Check Default Credentials 192.168.0.0.
Access your Router Panel with 192.168.0.0. IP address will allow you to change the settings that your Router brand provides, like Huawei, Linksys, TP-Link, Asus ... To do that, verify behind your router manual to get defaut login of IP Address
2. Launch cmd Software
Jump to Fifth step if you have already you Default Gateway IP Address. Otherwise Launch command software. Here, we take Windows for example. Search in search bar on Windows the word "cmd" and click on "Command Prompt" like picture bellow
3. Get Default Gatewap IP Address with specific Command
Now, write on cmd "ipconfig" and tap enter. If you are on Linux or macOS, write "ifconfig". Once it's done, look at "Default Gateway" section like picture bellow. If you're connected to Ethernet, check on "Ethernet" section else "Wireless LAN adapter Wi-Fi" part. It's this IP Address -->192.168.0.0.? Good you've probably right!
4. What is your default IP Address?
It is 192.168.0.0.? If you click on the button below and if it's doesn't work, may be you should try to connect on another because of your anti virus in some cases. You can temporarily turn off your anti virus to Access your Admin panel on 192.168.0.0.
5. You have Default IP Gateway
Once you know your default IP Address, try to click on the LOGIN button underneath. If you don't have defaut credentials to login, jump to Router Username and Password List to find YOUR default credentials. Check your Router brand and model behind and come back here te select right Brand and Model.
If it doesn't work, then 192.168.0.0. is not your router's IP address. Once you know your router's IP address, introduce it into your browser's URL Address. You'll be directed to the user login panel. There introduce your router user and password.
If you forgot your username and password you can follow these instructions to recover them. If you haven't changed the default user and password that comes with the router you can consult our router default usernames and passwords list. Once you're in the router's admin panel you'll be able to modify and change all internet settings.
Enter 192.168.0.0 instead of 192.168.O.0
The 192.168.O.0 is wrong, the correct IP is 192.168.0.0. It doesn't matter, you should just enter the correct IP which is 192.168.0.0
192.168.0.0 is a Private IP Address for use only inside of a Private Network. This IP Address may be utilized with an IP Address, and other many devices. You are trying to find the login for your router? You are in a good place.

Bats are some of the most distinctive mammals around. The only ones capable of powered flight, bat species occupy a variety of ecological niches, from predator to pollinator. The different habits come with some significant specializations, like echolocation and the ability to hibernate through cold weather.
Part of the reason that bats have evolved such extensive specializations is that they've been around for a while—fossil evidence dates back over 50 million years. But now, thanks to our ability to sequence genomes, some researchers have provided a new picture of how bats manage to adapt to such distinctive lifestyles. The DNA sequences suggest that all bats share some adaptations that help them cope with the metabolic demands of flight, while individual species have other adaptations that help them handle echolocation and hibernation.
The work was done by a large international consortium that involved everyone from the BGI (formerly Beijing Genomics Institute) to the Naval Medical Research Center. The team picked two different species of bat: an insectivorous hibernator called Myotis davidii and the black flying fox, Pteropus alecto. The latter feeds on fruit and nectar, and lacks the former's ability to echolocate.
The sequence confirmed that the bats (technically Chiroptera) belong to a large group of mammals called the Pegasoferae that includes the carnivores as well as hoofed mammals like cows and horses. Molecular clock data suggest that bats shared their last common ancestor with horses about 85 million years ago, when the dinosaurs were still around. The split with carnivores was only slightly more recent.
Compared to other mammals, the bat genome is a bit small at 2 billion base pairs (humans, in contrast, have a bit over 3 billion). This may be a product of the high metabolic demands of flight, which make the energy involved in copying unnecessary DNA unfavorable. That doesn't mean that the genome is completely streamlined, though; the flying fox's genome ended up with over 125 copies of a relative of herpesvirus 2 at some point in its past.
A compact genome isn't the only thing that helps bats cope with the energy involved in flight. High metabolic exertion tends to produce oxygen radicals, which damage cellular components, including DNA. So, the authors tested whether the genes that are involved in maintaining DNA integrity showed signs of having undergone evolutionary selection (we've explained how to do that test in the past). Many of the genes involved in repairing DNA damage did show signs of selection, as did genes that help stop cells from dividing if they've picked up too much damage. Both species have also lost a gene that helps cells trigger an inflammatory response when they sense DNA outside of the cell's nucleus.
There were some hints of the two species' specialization in the genome as well. The insect eater has to digest a variety of cellular components, and ended up with four copies of an enzyme that breaks down nucleic acids. In contrast, the flying fox, which gets its energy from sugars in fruit and nectar, had a mutation completely inactivate the gene. The insect eater is also a hibernator, and had acquired extra copies of a gene that's involved in digesting fats. (Gene duplications seem to provide a simple way of ensuring cells produce more of an important protein; they've been found to help bacteria adapt to metabolic demands, too.)
There's also a hint of a change that may contribute to echolocation in the insect-eater. FOXP2 has been implicated in language use in humans and seems to have some distinctive changes in other species that use vocalizations for various purposes. The version of the gene carried by the echolocating species seems to have picked up an unusual number of changes compared to other mammalian species.
The work provides another indication of how flexible genomes can be. Although there are lots of notable differences, the genome as a whole clearly looks a lot like those of other mammals. Most of the obvious adaptations don't involve changing the basic gene content. Rather, they seem to alter the level and function of the proteins the genes code for; other changes have been identified in bats that affect the timing and location of gene expression as well. As we well know, evolution can accomplish a lot by tweaking a common genetic toolkit.

Swinging At The Future; Whiffing At The Past
Two books to address today, one brand new, one kinda.
But I can't trust him. The book is riddled with historical mistakes, most of them seemingly trivial, some of them hilarious. One of them is particularly embarrassing. Vaccaro writes of the Giants' second year in their gigantic stadium, the Polo Grounds:
…to left field, the official measurement was 277 feet, but the second deck extended about twenty feet over the lower grandstand, meaning if you could get a little air under the ball you could get yourself a tidy 250-foot home run…
his glove, is the left field foul line.
There is a lot of historical tone-deafness – particularly distressing considering Mr. Vaccaro often covers the Yankees. He recounts a conversation among McGraw and New York sportswriters about the Giants taking in the American League New York Highlanders as tenants at the Polo Grounds for the 1913 season. Vaccaro quotes the famed Damon Runyon telling McGraw that his paper's headline writers have a new name intended for the team: The Yankees. McGraw is quoted as wondering if it will catch on in 1913. Even if the mistake originates elsewhere, it should've rung untrue to Vaccaro: The name "Yankees" had been used on the baseball cards as early as 1911, and on a team picture issued by one of the New York papers in 1907. If McGraw and Runyon hadn't heard the name "Yankees" by the time of the 1912 World Series, they'd both had undiagnosed hearing problems for five years.
"I took it over my left shoulder and with my bare hand although I clapped my glove on it right away and hung on like a bulldog in a tramp," Evans would soon tell the mountain of reporters…
…become a part owner of the American Association, a top Triple-A-level minor league…"
Post professional career
In 1929 Speaker replaced Walter Johnson as the manager of the Newark Bears of the International League, a post he held for two years. He became a part owner of the American Association. The announcement of Speaker's election to the Baseball Hall of Fame was made in January, 1937.

Washington Nationals owner Mark Lerner addressed "the Teddy question" in a live chat event today hosted by MLB.com.
Lerner responded with unusual passion to a fan who asked whether Teddy Roosevelt's presidents race losing streak and the team's on-field record are inextricably tied.
"I certainly want him to become a consistent winner," Lerner said, "I can't address whether your theory about Teddy is right or not, but I promise you when we go to a World Series that Teddy will win one of the series races if I have to run down the competition myself."
Of course, we'll hold out hope that:
a) we don't have to wait that long, and
b) if we do, well… it wont take that long!

Lisa Vanderpump: I'm "Covered" in Bruises from DWTS
Lisa Vanderpump may have had her share of verbal (and food-related) dustups on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, but nothing could prepare her for the physical beating she's taking on Dancing with the Stars.
"I look okay on the outside, but inside I'm falling apart," the Vanderpump Rules star told Access Hollywood. "I'm covered in [bruises]. ... It's so much harder than I thought it would be! I have to be honest. It should come with a health warning."
Spring TV Preview: Must-see new shows
But the physical pain has paid off: Vanderpump and her pro partner Gleb Savchenko earned an 18 for their foxtrot last week. This week they'll attempt the jive - and it sounds like Vanderpump is prepared to leave it all on the floor.
"It's kind of intimidating, but you know what? If you land on your ass or you screw up, that's the journey, isn't it?" she said.
How do you think Vanderpump's doing on Dancing?

Jimmy Buffett's weed brand set to make its debut
Jimmy Buffett fans can sip Landshark lager or retire to a Margaritaville-themed development. Starting Friday, they'll also be able to vape Coral Reefer cannabis products.
The packages are designed to clearly disclose the intensity of the user experience. The low-THC Seas the Day is marked "low tide," while the high-THC Surfin' in a Hurricane is labeled "tsunami."
The products are priced at $35 or $60, according to Surterra Wellness' website.
Surterra Wellness is the company headed by Beau Wrigley, the North Palm Beach, Fla., billionaire who once ran the chewing-gum giant. Coral Reefer is a brand controlled by Buffett, the singer and Palm Beach resident.
"Jimmy and his team share our commitment to quality and the belief that individuals can find personal wellness through the relief enhancing benefits and healing properties of cannabis," Wrigley said in a statement.
Later this year, the Coral Reefer brand plans to add edibles, topical treatment, pre-rolled joints and CBD-only formulas.
With weed gaining mainstream acceptance, Wrigley and Buffett bring big-time marketing sensibilities to what has been a niche market.
"This is a pivotal time in the industry, where perceptions of cannabis continue to evolve," Wrigley said.

With just two home series remaining, Nationals' racing president Thomas Jefferson is running out of time to catch Abraham Lincoln in the season standings.
Teddy Roosevelt, meanwhile, is simply desperate to notch a single win, and on a brisk Friday night at Nationals Park, he pulled a trick out his hat that nearly worked.
Teddy jumped in front of the other presidents at the center field gate, and with the help of an orange cone and barricade stick, he redirected the presidents towards left field.
All followed suit without hesitation, and Teddy dashed toward the finish line.
Abe wasn't fooled for long, though, and turned around quickly to begin his pursuit. Much to the crowd's dismay, the Great Emancipator caught Roosevelt at the finish line to notch his 30th victory of the season and guarantee at least a share of his fourth consecutive presidents race season title.
The victory dropped Lincoln's magic number to 1 for the outright season title. Thomas Jefferson, who was featured in today's Social Studies DC Celebrities Without Eyebrows blog post, needs to reel off five straight wins for a chance at the tie.

When I was little, I thought leaves were green.
Of course, they're not.
The chlorophyll, which has been covering their color, is fading. Soon, the maple leaves will be candy-apple red. Oaks will darken into deep purple, bright orange, or brown. Elms and birches will turn mustard yellow.
It's amazing watching the leaves change. They show us their true colors then they drift down from their branches.
We go for a walk and see edges losing chlorophyll. On our next walk, the leaves have more of their natural pigment. "Look at me! I'm orange!" They let me take pictures, those patient leaves, before letting go. We find them in the grass the following week, pick them up, bring them home and give them a place of honor in our mini-pumpkin pile.
I've always loved autumn.
This year, though, for the first time, I realize I'm a leaf. I thought I was green but that was just hiding my true colors. What are they? I'm not sure. But I'm ready to find out.
My Sunday thoughts in 200 words or less.
Do you ever wonder who you are underneath? Have you ever thought that the roles you play in life might be your chlorophyll? If you showed your true colors to the world, what would happen?

Traffic stop in Ionia leads to two arrests
Two men were arrested Thursday after a traffic stop near Rice and Hackett streets.
According to Ionia Department of Public Safety Deputy Director John Odette, the IDPS officer stopped the driver of a vehicle for allegedly driving erratically. The officer approached the driver after the driver had pulled into a driveway of a house, where he told the officer he was picking up a friend, Odette said. A second man then came out of the house.
Odette said the officer questioned both subjects and discovered that the man from the house had outstanding warrants for a probation violation for possession of marijuana and a failure to appear on a city income tax warrant. After the driver consented to a search, the officer allegedly found marijuana paraphernalia in the vehicle and a bag of marijuana on the driver.
Both men were arrested and taken to the Ionia County Jail.
The name of the driver, a 19-year-old man from Carson City, is being withheld pending his arraignment. He is out on bond, and facing charges of possession of marijuana and careless driving.
Eric Claudio, 24, of Ionia, was arraigned on his warrants and remains in custody at the Ionia County Jail.

Doctors order urine tests for kids to make sure that the kidneys and certain other organs are working as they should, or when they think that a child might have an infection in the kidneys, bladder, or other parts of the urinary tract.
The kidneys make urine (pee) as they filter wastes from the bloodstream, while leaving substances in the blood that the body needs, like protein and glucose. So when urine contains glucose, too much protein, or has other irregularities, it can be a sign of a health problem.
A urinalysis is usually ordered when a doctor suspects that a child has a urinary tract infection (UTI) or a health problem that can cause an abnormality in the urine. This test can measure:
Sometimes, when the urine contains white blood cells or protein, or the test results seem abnormal for another reason, it's because of how or when the urine was collected. For example, a dehydrated child may have concentrated (darker) urine or a small amount of protein in the urine. But that might not mean that there's a health problem. Once the child is rehydrated, these "abnormal" results may disappear. Depending on the amount of protein or other cells in the urine, the doctor may repeat the urine test at another time, just to make sure that everything is back to normal.
In most cases, urine is collected in a clean container, then a small plastic strip that has patches of chemicals on it (the dipstick) is placed in the urine. The patches change color to indicate things like the presence of white blood cells or glucose.
Next, the doctor or laboratory technologist also usually examines the same urine sample under a microscope to check for other substances that indicate different conditions.
If the dipstick test or the microscopic test shows white blood cells, red blood cells, or bacteria (possible signs of a kidney or bladder infection), the doctor may send the urine to a lab for a urine culture to identify the bacteria that may be causing the infection.
Getting a urine sample. It can be difficult to get urine samples from kids to test for a possible infection. That's because the skin around the urinary opening (urethra) normally is home to some of the same bacteria that cause UTIs. If these bacteria contaminate the urine, the doctors might not be able to use the sample to tell if there is a true infection or not.
To avoid this, the skin surrounding the urinary opening has to be cleaned and rinsed immediately before the urine is collected. In this "clean-catch" method, the patient (or parent) cleans the skin, the child then urinates, stops momentarily (if the child is old enough to cooperate), then urinates again into the collection container. Catching the urine in "midstream" is the goal.
In some cases (for instance, if a child is not toilet trained), the doctor or nurse will insert a catheter (a narrow, soft tube) through the urinary tract opening into the bladder to get the urine sample. In certain situations, a sterile bag can be placed around a baby's diaper area to collect a urine sample.
If you have any questions about urine tests, talk with your doctor.

Analysis: Finally, something on the line for Cubs and Brewers
The Cubs-Brewers rivalry will never come close to the Bears-Packers wars in terms of heat and hatred, but this weekend should be pretty intense.
The National League Central-leading Brewers (46-32) visit the second-place Cubs (38-39) for three games at Wrigley Field beginning at 1:20 p.m. Friday.
The Brewers, who have won nine of their past 11 games, have a 7½-game lead over the Cubs, who own a six-game winning streak.
A sweep by Milwaukee would mean a comfortable 10½-game lead. A Cubs sweep would mean a not-so-comfortable (for the Brewers) 4½ games would separate the two teams.
This marks the first time the two rivals are facing each other with so much on the line for both teams.
The Cubs, who have a 75-73 edge in the all-time series, first played the Brewers in 1997 in interleague play. Milwaukee moved from the American League to the NL the following season.
Cubs-Brewers battles usually feature some wild and memorable moments. Here are five worth remembering:
1. Oh, no! N-o-o-o-o-o!
The Cubs, in a tight race for the NL wild-card berth, were one out away from a 7-5 win at County Stadium on Sept. 23, 1998, when Milwaukee's Geoff Jenkins — batting with the bases loaded — hit a seemingly routine fly ball to left field.
But Brant Brown dropped the ball. All three Brewers scored, and the Cubs dropped an 8-7 heartbreaker. Jeromy Burnitz, who went on to play for the Cubs in 2005, scored the winning run.
Classic sound bites of Cubs radio analyst Ron Santo screaming "Oh, no! No-o-o-o!" after Brown dropped the ball are still heard on sports talk radio.
"I catch a thousand of those," Brown said after the game. "This was the thousand and first that I just happened to miss. There are no excuses. I'm taking full responsibility for it. Maybe I just closed my glove too fast."
"I thought when the play was over, they tied the game," stunned Cubs first baseman Mark Grace said. "Then I saw Burnitz at home plate and realized it was over and we had to leave the field."
The Cubs eventually earned the wild-card berth anyway.
2. Hey, Abbott!
On June 15, 1999, Brewers pitcher Jim Abbott — who was born without a right hand — got his first major league hit and drove in a run when he singled over shortstop Jose Hernandez's head in a game at County Stadium. Abbott got a standing ovation from the crowd.
"You play the game for moments like that," said Abbott, who had pitched in the AL for nine previous seasons and had no major league at-bats until 1999. "It's something I'll always remember."
Cubs pitcher Jon Lieber served up the hit.
"That didn't amaze me," Lieber said of Abbott getting a hit. "I've been watching him play since he came into the league. If he can pitch, I know he can hit."
Abbott finished 2-for-21 as a major leaguer — both hits coming off Lieber.
3. Homer, homer, homer
Sammy Sosa homered three times off Cal Eldred to help the Cubs to a 6-5 win at Wrigley Field on June 15, 1998. It was their 10th straight home win, their best such streak since 1978.
Sosa hit a solo shot to right-center in the first inning, his 200th homer as a Cub. He added solo shots to left in the third and seventh innings, putting him on pace for 57 homers for the season. He finished with 66.
"I can't get any RBI because he's clearing the bases," fourth-place hitter Grace joked.
"I'm seeing the ball real well," Sosa said. "Good things are happening. But I'm not looking for home runs. I'm not looking at numbers. But this was one of the best games of my career."
4. Glenallen hits a building
Cubs left fielder Glenallen Hill talked to one of his bats before a game against Milwaukee at Wrigley Field on May 11, 2000.
Hill and his new pal had everyone talking after he walloped a Steve Woodard offering an estimated 490 feet. His home run in a 14-8 loss landed on the roof of a three-story apartment building on Waveland Avenue.
"That's the longest one I've seen here," Hall of Famer Billy Williams said. "That mama was hit."
Hill was so upset by an error he committed earlier that he took his frustrations out on the ball.
"I was so upset that I didn't catch that fly ball that I was blind, I was so mad," Hill said. "I think when that happens to a player, nine times out of 10, you don't get a hit because you are so mad. But the one time you do get a hit, it seems like it's perfect."
5. Backside blindside
The Cubs led the Brewers 5-4 heading into the ninth when struggling closer Ryan Dempster went into the game at Wrigley Field on June 27, 2006.
The Brewers scored three runs in a wild inning in which Dempster, trying to throw to third, threw the ball into left field for an error, allowing Corey Koskie to score the tying run.
The inning had started on an odd note when Koskie reached base by lining a ball off Dempster's rear end.
"It's always something weird in this series," the Brewers' Jeff Cirillo said.
Let the madness continue. ...

Suspect dead after shootout with police in Belding
A male suspect has been killed at about 5:20 a.m. Saturday in Belding after alleged vandalism and firing at police.
According to Belding Police Chief Dale Nelson, an on-duty Belding Police officer heard a "popping noise" at about 5:12 a.m. outside of the department. The officer exited the building and discovered a police car's side window had been shot. Upon seeing a suspicious vehicle, the officer followed the vehicle, a white van, through the city and called the Michigan State Police for assistance, Nelson added.
He said a Michigan State Police trooper joined with the Belding Police officer at M-44 and Hawley Highway and the MSP trooper turned his emergency signals on. The suspect pulled to the side of the road, exited the vehicle with a weapon and fired at police. Nelson said the Belding Police officer returned fire and fatally shot the suspect. No officers were injured.
Following the incident, police shut down the portion of M-44 and Hawley Highway where the shooting took place and also blocked off the area littered with glass where the Belding Police vehicle had been parked when the window was shot, according to Michigan State Police Lieutenant Brody Boucher at the scene.
He said no motive is known and the suspect was not carrying identification. However, MSP Lt. Kevin Sweeney said he believes the man is Bernard Lyle Rowley, 55, of Sidney.
"That is who we believe at this point in time, but it isn't confirmed yet," said Sweeney.
The weapon used by the suspect is believed to be a long gun, but has yet to be confirmed, Boucher said. A background check will also take place on the suspect and his family, he added.
Nelson said the officer who delivered the fatal shot is on paid administrative leave and the department will provide counseling assistance.
"We're working through it and our thoughts are with our officer," said Nelson. "It's a difficult time, but something we will get through."
The incident continues to be under investigation by Michigan State Police. Boucher said a crime lab from Lansing is assisting at each scene.

Thief steals Model A from churchgoer, crashes
Associated Press
PRINEVILLE, Ore. — Central Oregon authorities say a 79-year-old man took his 1930 Ford Model A coupe to church on Sunday to show it off.
But when he left it so he could get a bite of lunch, sheriff's deputies say it was stolen and crashed into the Crooked River south of Prineville.
Photos show the mangled vehicle in the river, but no estimate of the damage was immediately available.
Capt. Michael Boyd said deputies couldn't release the name of the owner.
Boyd said 34-year-old Erik Blake Halpin, described as a transient, was arrested for investigation of drunken driving and unauthorized use of a vehicle. He swam to shore and was arrested after he was treated at a Bend hospital.
